Description
Decided to do something more traditional this Halloween in light of the season so I decided to draw a ghost. It not what I expected it to come out to be....it actually came out more terrifying than I originally thought. Did it with the usual pencil/graphite but it needed some editing on photoshop to help with the ghostliness and the lighting. Below I also included a short horror story to go with this piece, feel free to read it to get the details on this ghost if you were able to look directly at it for more than a couple of seconds
Three teens Jasper,Milia, and Conor where discussing plans for Halloween night. They have seemed to do everything from partys, to egging, and even hanging out in cemeteries. This year Conor wanted to do something different,suggesting to break into one of the abandoned supposedly haunted houses that where nearbye. After doing online research for an hour Conor came upon an independent website that does research on various haunted houses, something caught the thrill seeker Conor's eyes. He called over Jasper and Milia to come look at the information. It was titled “The Garret House” located on the outskirts of Williamsburg,Virginia as they began to read about the history behind the house. In this house lived a woman named Lenora and her husband Horace Garret who married young and had a struggling marriage. It was rumored that Horace was a horrible drunk and a very jealous person. He kept his wife Lenora inside as much as possible as he did not want her surrounded by other men. Whenever she would fell the urge to rebel or question his rules Lenora would be horribly beaten to put her back into her place. She had many miscarriages and couldn't figure out why, this really angered Horace who wanted a son more then anything. One day against Horace's rules, Lenora was able to contact another man who was a doctor to come check on her. He came and checked on her but couldn't figure anything out after one visit and said he would come by again. The doctor was infatuated with Lenora as she was infatuated with the doctor. The teens eyes widened as they scrolled down to the terrifying details on the night Lenora was violently murdered, October 31st 1886. It read, one night Horace came home drunk and tried to force himself onto her. In the process he discovered flowers from the doctor and Horace became violent. After a terrible struggle Lenora was viciously stabbed to death in the chest by her husband. The doctor found her body and the husband was found guilty and put to death. It is said that her screams echos the woods surrounding the house in the night as her ghost haunts to house unable to recover from the pain she was dealt. Conor then closed his laptop trying to persuade Milia and Jasper who were a bit nervous about the whole plan to come with him. Eventually they succumbed and on Halloween night they headed alone into the woods towards the Garret house...
It was a cold night in the woods as the teens flashed their lights through the brush. Conor has always had a crush on Milia and believed tonight he would get lucky,but he had to find a way to get Jasper out of the way. Jasper was always known as a bit of a scaredy cat so Conor planned to use his laptop to imitate screams and pretend the ghost was after him to scare Jasper out of the house. Encroaching upon the dark abandoned house Jasper and Milia nervously waited behind Conor as he tried to break his way in the Garret house. Breaking the door down Conor gestured for the others to join him inside, Conor was surprised to find a light switch and flicked it on. Walking in the teens expected it to be run down since it was so old but the house had been touched up a bit and pretty clean,it even had electricity. They came to conclusion that someone still owns it and that they where trespassing. Jasper and Milia wanted to leave but Conor looked around a, seeing no cameras and no signs of other people he persuaded them to stay. Jasper was able to sneak some beers from his dad's fridge and the three teens began to drink away their fear in the living room of the house. Time passed as the drunken teens reminisced about old times forgetting that they where in a haunted house. They became a little bored as the night went on listening for screams but only heard the wind rustling against the trees outside. Conor stood up demanding that they all split up and explore the house on their own, but really Conor wanted to enact his devious plan. Which was to make Milia go to the bedroom,Jasper explore the downstairs, Conor himself would pretend to go into the basement then the attic,but instead of going into the attic would follow Milia into the bedroom. On the way he would set his laptop to emit screams which would send Jasper running and Milia out cowering into his arms. It took some convincing as a drunken Conor used his magical persuasion to get Jasper and Milia on board. Soon Conor got his way,flicking off the lights to add to the experience the teens split up with their flashlights. Ascending up the stairs Milia began to cautiously explore the rooms on the second floor.
flashing her light everywhere around the dark rooms she was easily startled by the creaking of the wind and by the footsteps of the others. Soon Milia did not hear the others as clearly as if they weren't even in the house at all. An ominous feeling started to grow on her as she approached the bedroom. She did not want to go in but it was as if her body had a mind of its own, her hand slowly began to open the door. Paralyzed she watched in horror as a grainy colorless yet viscous scene took place in front of her. A woman was struggling from unearth this large sluggish man,as he drunkenly tried to kiss her while grabbing tightly onto her thigh. The woman shouted the words “No..no..no!!!!” digging her nails deep into the flesh of the man as he fell off her onto the floor. Grabbing something from underneath the bed the man pulls out flowers, staring at them with a confused look he shouted a muffled phrase that was quite hard to make out. Throwing the flowers to the floor and stamping on them,he became enraged and began to physically assault the woman. Milia watched as the brute began to smack the woman with force, as soon as she let out a scream smacks to turned into punches. The woman struggled as she let out ear pierces screams, the man yelling back at her viciously cursing. As he kicked and punched her savagely, the woman's screams where muffled by coughing up and spitting blood. The woman seized the opportunity and bit into the man's neck. The man's felt the blood running down his neck with a shocked look on his face, soon his face warped into the face of a rabid beast. Grabbing the woman he threw her as her body crashed into the corner of the room. As the crazed man started approaching the screaming became louder and dramatically more desperate. Taking out a knife he held and repeatedly stabbed the woman in the chest till her screams died out and even after he continued with a mixture of rage and sorrow in his face. The vision slowly faded and ended,the door slammed shut behind Milia and no sound could be heard from inside.
Conor snuck up the stairs hoping not to be heard, he snickered as he began to open his laptop. Pressing the power button, Conor then heard a very loud bloodcurdling scream, but coming from elsewhere in the house. Conor still kinda drunk thought he may of pressed the button to emit the scream by accident but the program wasn't even open.... Conor waited for a couple of minutes but neither heard Jasper running out the house or Milia running towards him. He figured Jasper just pussied out anyways and headed towards the bedroom attempting to fix his hair,thinking somehow Milia didn't hear the scream. Stumbling into the bedroom Conor did not noticed how different it was from the other rooms of the house or how the door closed itself behind him. The room was very aged, the walls and furniture stained in dark colors, and a feeling of dread was around that the drunken Conor could not comprehend. Seeing a shape of a figure underneath the sheets in the bed Conor smiled, saying “Milia why....whwise youd b hidin from me...I lovs you gurl”, then Conor threw himself onto the bed. After humping the body for a few seconds Conor said “Mililia you here...arr you there...” lifting up the sheets Conor flashed the light into her face, his stupidly drunken face changed to one of worry as Milia was stone cold, covered with horrible bruise, eyes swollen shut, blood dripping from her ears and eyes, she was dead... Conor shook her a bit but there was no response, before Conor could do anything more he heard the bloodcurdling scream coming out of the darkness from right behind him. Sweat ran down his forehead and his body began to shake as he slowly began to turn around to see the source of the screaming. A dim flickering light revealed a screaming specter, screams filled with much pain...agony...despair...horror echoed the room. Conor's face in was in a frozen state of terror as he has never felt felt fear as powerful and pure enough overcome his drunken state. Feeling blood dripping on him from the ceiling Conor looked up, seeing Jasper who's bleeding mouth was stretched far beyond capacity, his wide eyes seemed to stare into directly into Conor's soul. Lowering his head again Conor's face was about an inch away from the ghost's, Conor couldn't help but scream.... The teens where never heard from or seen again after that night as there was no physical evidence of their disappearance, just beer cans and flashlights....

Thank you very much and completely agreed monsters intrigue me more than invoke fear and don't bother me, but ghost on the otherhand can really keep you up at night though I rcently came to peace with ghosts after the grueling process of getting over the Broken Neck ghost from fatal frame and playing lots of it, she literally gave me the worst nightmare I had ever experienced as well as kept me up at night on occasion, regular ghost aren't as bad as some of those Japanese ghosts which helped influence this piece though it is not Japanese

the japanese people have a light nature, I would match their movies with the horror movies from america in the 80s
the first movie with ghosts who give me nightmares was a episode of 'the X-Files' (I slept two nights with light xD but there I was 11 years old)
